The myth, as it was known throughout the nine lands, was this: Millenia ago, when the world was at its end, the celestials built a great dungeon. Within it, they imprisoned undead, demonic beasts, and fiendish monstrosities. Under their watchful eye, they remained imprisoned while the world healed. Perfect in every detail, the prison would stand inviolate for eternity, protecting the world from its darkest foes.

But time is eternal too, and it passed over even the celestials. The world forgot its heroes. History forgot how much time had passed, and the earth slept as races rose and fell. But one thing is certain: the earth is an unforgiving mistress and her power cannot be held back. Even the perfect prison in time succumbed to her ravages. But all this is just myth.

Now, Queen Laurentien, monarch of the Ninth Kingdom - Stalasokalven searches her realm and others for those brave enough to explore why her kingdom is increasingly beset by ever more dangerous creatures. If you wish to answer her call, apply below. She'll select the first four adventurers that catch her eye.
OOC:
Give me an application that includes race, class, and why it's interesting. If it's not interesting, I'm probably going to skip it. This is a dungeon crawl. There's not going to be a huge mysterious storyline or a lot of travel. Characters are going to take center stage here, so make them colorful.

Why tho? Recently I was wondering what else I could run that wouldn't take up a huge amount of prep time, and then I realized I had this book from a decades ago....

Approved races/classes: ANY d&d 3.5 non-3rd-party non-monstrous races and player classes. To put this another way, I don't really care, but I'd rather you not have relatives in the dungeon.
Starting level: 1 (this means if you really want to play that race with an LA, you're going to take negs to pretty much everything until you catch up.
Special notes: You're going to be in a dungeon. If you're a caster, that means you get to learn the spells you run across. There's no spell stall to go buy them from. More than a couple casters will be problematic because there might not be enough to go around. You may also be able to learn spells you normally couldn't. However, any spells will use their own class' ability, so if you're a wizard and want to learn divine spells, you may want a good WIS score too.
Oh yes, Summoning: No.

Merryk, a halfling spellthief, hears about the dungeon and would like to seek out its treasures and make a name for himself. Like most halflings, Merryk is very boisterous and loves to tell stories of previous adventures, many of which may or may not be true. Did you hear the one about how Merryk become Merryk Wolfbane? or Merryk the Dragonslayer? Well, gather around the campfire and he will be more than glad to tell you the tales over pints of ale or dwarven whiskey.
OOC:
This is a derivation of a character I have played at the table for a few years, so I'd like to see what adventures await for him on this new journey. Also, if we need a more focused spellcaster, I could go with warmage, wizard or something else.

Toryl the troll slayer, a dwarf that severed his ties to his clan for unknown reasons. Courting death by taking on the most challenging battles, trying to reddem himself from his past. A promess of demons and undead... There is no reason not to answer that call !
OOC:
Dwarven fighter and/or barbarian....

Assuming a Half-Orc is an allowable race meet Beezit Frelm, an incredibly strong Barbarian who wields a huge great axe and smokes skoopa from a pipe he made himself. He makes the skoopa from a crop his village calls Moon Sugar which he chops and grinds into a tobacco like substance. Smoking the stuff makes him wax both poetic and philosophical, if you can imagine that. Under the sway of the skoopa he feels it is his destiny to save the world from itself and all those who would do it harm. He would be first in line to enter the world's largest dungeon.

Kitashi, a human female monk, seeking to prove her worth both to herself and to her order. She has heard of the dungeon and feels that this would be a good proving ground. My intent is to go primarily monk, but I may add a few levels of shugenja (cleric) in there for variety. She is driven not by the promise of wealth, but by the hope of personal satisfaction in a job well done.

Lot's of melee here. I'm going to leave it open until tomorrow just to make sure those in other timezones see it.

Here's an alternate for Toryl....

Mykhaal, who believes he is a descendant of the celestials, has trained all his young life for this moment. He will finally be able to aid in his ancestors quest to rid the world one demon and one undead at the time...

Human/Aasimar or somekind of divinely touched race, Cleric.

We've got a spellthief, a monk, a barbarian, and a cleric. That's not too far off the stereotypical group, so we should be good. I'll be sending out invites and discussing character creation in the game forums.

Sounds good! looking forward to it!

What should we be looking for in the Games forum. I haven't seen anything yet.
